Dip & Crunch

Barcode 3073781048124
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Dip & Crunch is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

Dip & Crunch is ultra-processed because it contains emulsifying salts (polyphosphates), which are industrial additives used to modify and stabilize the cheese spread. It also contains natural flavouring in the breadsticks, an extracted flavour additive characteristic of ultra-processed formulations. These ingredients lead to a UPF classification, although the product also includes more conventional ingredients such as wheat flour, sunflower oil, butter, milk, cheese, salt, and yeast.
